Art decks, Reading decks, Spell decks...hmmm.

Maybe this isn't the right place to mention this, because it's kind of a tangent from the Touchstone thread (moderators, please move if I have offended the Moderating Gods.) :c)
It is difficult to create a "portrait" deck that speaks - which Kat has undeniably achieved. I created such a deck several years ago, using the artwork of Susan Seddon Boulet...which I was unable to obtain authorization to publish, and which was also reviewed by two of the tarot people whose opinions I respect the most. Both said the cards were too "static". I think Kat has most decidedly proved that portrait decks *can* speak multitudes!
I love Susan Siddon Boulet.
What a great idea.....sadly, it would be much easier to make the deck you were trying to make....if she had been dead a long long long time.
I wonder how the Golden by Klimpt was made legally?
I can't read with that Golden or with Kat's.
Probably because I never tried to read with them or shuffle them.
They are art decks.
The Touchstone is both art and a rambling, gossipy, velvety friend of mine.
Who can also cast spells without my help.
